Christian Eriksen has been pictured back in training for Manchester United at long last.
Summer signing Christian Eriksen has been out with injury since the end of January.
Now he has made his return to first team training as promised by Erik ten Hag earlier this week.
It is a glorious sight to see the Denmark international making a key step towards his comeback, fresh for a big end to the season.
Ten Hag latest update on Eriksen
Erik ten Hag has not ruled Christian Eriksen out of a place in the matchday squad at home to Everton on Saturday.
He explained via club media that the midfielder is making positive progress and he will continue to monitor him.
He said last night: “We will see. We see it from day to day. He is progressing. He is now back only this week in team training tomorrow [Thursday] and the day after tomorrow [Friday].
“We have two sessions. After that, we will decide if he is back in the squad again.”
The next game after the Everton match is the first leg of a Europa League semi-final against Sevilla, for which Casemiro will also be available.
Eriksen had played more minutes than any Manchester United midfielder before his injury, and he has certainly been missed, despite the club sitting in a strong position in the table and the cups.
Seeing him back is great to see, something we have been waiting for ever since his season was cruelly interrupted.
Eriksen has scored two goals and has nine assists. Only Bruno Fernandes (13) has created more goals this season.
